A year after they opened, Freeplay Lanaken (Lanaken, Belgium) has seen some nice additions. As they have been required to space machines apart because of virus concerns they have also seen some games leave. I try to give an impression of the current state of the arcade in September 2020.

Today I delve into the 1980's classic Nine Ball by Stern. With great art, fast gameplay and good sounds, this game is a challenge for any pinball enthusiast. This game was the first full playfield swap I ever attempted. The video shows a bit of that process, a look under the playfield, inside the backbox, as well as some gameplay footage.

With the best original music soundtrack in pinball, 1988's Gottlieb TX Sector is a fantastic machine with an interesting layout and 2 great spinners.

Travel across the USA with "Red" and "Ted" as they smash up roads and cause mayhem!

With a beautiful backglass, fantastic artwork and a cool theme, Gottlieb's Black Hole from 1981 was high up on my wish list for the collection. The 2 playfields add an element of variety and excitement and while it is not an easy game, I think it helps you be a better pinball player!

The crown jewel of my collection. I am happy to share with you the greatest pinball machine ever made....TWILIGHT ZONE!

Funhouse is one of the greatest classic pins from the 1990s! Also one of my favorite machines and I am happy to share it with you!

3 months after High Speed, a 1986 Williams PinBot joined the collection. This amazing machine has some of the best music in pinball! Check out the rules and sounds of this classic from Williams.

I kick off this new video series by documenting my classic 1986 Williams High Speed Pinball Machine! Knowing relatively little about pinball, I bought this project in 2018 as my first machine. I worked through MPU battery damage and a destroyed playfield to bring this machine back to its former glory.
